Hi, I’m completely new to trading.my knowledge on it is almost nothing. But an opportunity arose when I found a sole trader on social media that for a small investment ,uses it to trade on Forex and returns you a larger amount. The initial investment was £500 i was fine with this , but now she’s saying there is a deposit release fee of £2100 which I need to transfer and then will receive the profits. Is this DRF a real thing? What do you think ? Any advice would be much appreciated thanks.

From the text she wrote, this is clearly a scam.

I am curious: How did you make the initial payment of £500? To whom and by what payment method?

I am in the USA, and I don't know enough about European banking regs to even make a guess as to whether the transfer could be reversed. But you could start by calling your bank and telling them you are a victim of fraud. The problem is that you did indeed authorize the transfer of funds. So you may be out of luck.

To whom did you transfer the money? To an individual or to a business entity?

There is nothing the bank can do. He is being scammed, but he willingly initiated the transfers.

All he can do is go to the police.

What country is this person in? Or maybe more important, was the transfer international or not?

This is a real problem with new people. Guys why do you not understand that this is not a place where you will be rich overnight, I believe that is not possible anywhere in the world. You nice people gets ditched by these kind morons and then you blame the market. Now that you have lost your money, don't blame anyone or yourself, just learn from this and try not to do these kind of mistakes in your life ahead.

 

[BenjaminB123]

Yeah Tedmos I’m not blaming anyone or anything , less on learned. Yeah guys I don’t think I’ll get the money back from the bank as I willingly transferred the money knowing it was risky, she’s in the UK. Anyway thanks for all the help much appreciated !
